The moving flower will not get wet anymore
In the dew water ....

Although it is better known to us as a moving fruit, the beauty of the flower is not less. Although not so colorful in terms of external beauty, the flower is majestic in terms of shape. The color of the flower petals in the rainy season is green, fleshy and permanentThe flowers are lightly scented. The color of the petals is milky-white and short-lived. The pollen cycle of this flower has innumerable pale yellow pollen. The green of the stalk, the whiteness of the group, the yellow of the pollen and the star-shaped womb make this flower quite attractive.
But the moving flower is very transient, the stalks turn into fruit in a short time. The petals of the flowers that bloom in the morning fall off in the evening and the color of the petals at the time of flowering is milky-white, but as the day progresses, the color changes and becomes ghee. So if you want to see the real form of the moving flower, you have to see it before noon. Fertilized flowers become the result of walking. Flowering season is monsoon season.

At the beginning of the monsoon, the flowers start to bloom. It is very beautiful to see the white and beautiful walk among the long green leaves. Although the flower is not easily seen in the dense leaf cover.

The white and soft petals of the moving flower are also transient. It falls in a day or two.

The liveliness of the leaves, the whiteness of the flowers, the combination of the yellow pollen and the beauty of the flowers are strange.

As the naturalist Dwijen Sharma writes about this flower, the chalta flower is comparable to any beautiful flower. The height of the tree is about 20 meters. Branches are random. Shaded and stretched. The veins of the leaves are sharp and serrated. Because of this shape of the leaves, chalta is called Ruposhi tree.

Available in Bangladesh, Nepal, Assam, Sinhala and Malay. It is found in almost all parts of our country. However, production is higher in the south. The shape of the moving fruit is almost round. Raw chalata tastes sour, ripe and sweet. The fruits ripen in autumn.
